Looking at the Rawlings Line

Looking at the Rawlings line this week.

Found the death notice for Zeda Emma Rawlings (1854-1897), daughter of Eber Brightwell Rawlings (1826-1908), on page 4 of the Provo City Enquirer for 12 Jan 1897.

Also found a lot of information from the U.S. census for the families of William Senior Rawlings (1863-1930), son of Eber Brightwell Rawlings; Thomas William Mullineaux (1840-1909), husband of Matura Brightwell Rawlings; and Peter Canute Peterson, son-in-law of William Senior Rawlings (1840-1909).

Explored the "America's Obituaries and Death Notices" database for Rawlings, Petersons, and Ottosens, with great success. Some death notices give the names of all the siblings and the names of their spouses, which can fill out a FGR in a hurry.

Was pleased to find data on the descendants of Thomas Mullineaux (1840-1909) and Matura Brightwell Rollins (1828-?) posted on Judy Buckner's Genealogy Homepage. I plan to contacting Judy Buckner soon, just to say "hello."
